 The original Windsor Lodge was a hunting lodge built in 1909
amongst the thick and untamed forests of the region that were
then teeming with wildlife. This retreat remained a prime
favourite with the British and Indian upper strata of society
till 1948, when a devastating fire reduced it to ruins. After
half a century of neglect, renovation began on the Lodge in
1999. Painstaking efforts were made to restore the Lodge to
its original architecture and hauteur, with solid blocks of
stone in the rough hewn walls and liberal use of solid timber.
Modern comforts were woven into this period style to maintain
the best of both the old and new centuries and worlds.
The lodge is
located at a vantage point on a wooded hillock with a
commanding view of snow-capped mountains, thick pine and cedar
forests and the sweep of the Ranikhet golf course. It is
located in Kalika Estate, in the village of Dadgallia, on the
outskirts of the Ranikhet cantonment town, just high and
removed enough to seem remote and yet within easy reach of all
the hill station's amenities and activities.
Area Information
Ranikhet, a peaceful hill
station at an altitiude of 1829 metres, was established as a
cantonment town by the British Raj in 1869 and is still an
important army town.
Always a popular retreat,
Ranikhet is a ever-burgeoning tourist and getaway destination
drawing visitors from the plains who come as much for the
undulating greens of the golf course as for the spectacular
views of the snow-capped Himalayan mountains.
